Formerly known as the Ravenna Ordinance Plant or Ravenna Arsenal, this facility began production of shells and bombs in 1941 and eventually included 1,371 buildings encompassed on 21,418 acres.  “Illustrating Ohio's important contributions to winning World War II (from 1942 to 1945), civilian defense workers at the Ravenna Arsenal produced more weapons for the war effort than at any other plant in the United States.”
